With my 02 GT AUTO how should i be launching with my new MT et streets? I will prob have about 16-20 psi (what i am hearing from ppl) i will be taking them to the track for the first time tomarrow and dont want to bogg down too much as i have herd is the case sometimes.....i will try trial and error but could someone give me a good starting point?????? also describe to me a good burnout with these

 

I have pretty close to your numbers 243 hp/ 280tq
I have Nitto's and I had a hard time launching too... I figured out if you go around the water andback up so your sitting on the damp edge and burnout for about 5 seconds in that spot and then ride the burnout to the line, shallow stage it as much as possible, don't worry about brake torque yet...always seemed to screw up my 60 foot even at 1500... I just stomped it as soon as the last yellow was on...
this run was before my 4.10's a dyno tune and my T/Bandplenum
so this run was with shorties, a prochamber, magnapacks, CAI and Nittos with an AUTO

reaction: .088
60ft: 2.01
1/8: 9.03@78.38
1/4: 14.06@97.74
when I took off I diddn't even hear a peep...

but keep in mind you have M/T's so it could be different

 

Like a bat outta hell.

 

yah idk bharsen, my buddy has nittos on his 03' Mach and cant get any traction i hear MT's are a different ball game, suprised the best you could pull off was a 2.01 60 ft, last time i went i did that on crappy stock tires

 

you don't have to remind me of my mistake of getting the Nitto's
when my longblock get's slid in he's widening my rims and putting BFG's on it I was comparing at the track and those things are sticky 24/7.... I hear because they are petroleum based that when your dealing with the HP we are at now you just have to dry hop them to brush off the dirt and stuff

 

16psi , good second gear burnout till smoke starts coming off the tires. then launch at 1200 rpms flashing the converter.
